Peaceful setting

We enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood where the hotel was located. It was a short bike ride to the action of Duval St. The breakfast and sitting around the pool were great. Rooms were on the small side but comfortable.

First Visit to Key West = AWESOME

We stayed at the Palms for our first-ever visit to Key West, and would return there again when we come back to Key West for future visits. Located in a quiet area near the center of Key West, with easy walk/bike options to reach most areas of interest within 15-30 minutes, with most all sites less than a mile from the hotel. Nice breakfast by the pool every morning (see picture). Staff were friendly and helpful when needed!

Super cute property! Our room was tiny and could use a little updating. Breakfast was served right outside our door which was great to open your door and grab coffee, but not amazing if you want to sleep in. The pool could use some attention - we were there for 3 nights and it was never cleaned. Staff were super friendly and helpful!

My husband and I like the older properties, we are history buffs and this property had charm and was well kept. I love how the used bright colors to give it a bright warm and sunny atmosphere. We did not stay long enough to enjoy all the amenities, but enjoyed breakfast out in the pool courtyard

We loved the quaint layout of this hotel with rooms around the pool area. Our room was spacious and bright. Despite it being Spring Break and seemingly renting to a large group of college students, we were not disturbed at all by excessive noise! The included breakfast offered enough variety to give us the energy we needed to explore Key West on foot (although the hotel offered bicycles to rent). The 1 mile walk to Duval St was easy and felt safe even in the evenings. Can’t wait to return!
